Synopsis:
Welcome to the second installment of ARROWVERSE BEGINNINGS! AB are not season arc movies. They are more like Expanded Pilots. Exploring our hero's debut in greater depth and detail than the original 42 minute episode could ever allow. It is not a full origin or even the full story... it is the Beginning of a Legend!
Sara Lance has mysteriously returned from the dead! Now, as the masked vigilante Black Canary, she protects her family from the dark forces of the League of Assassins!
Intentions:
I love the Arrowverse. For me, despite it's many limitations, hurdles and roadblocks, it is still the best live action adaptation of the DC Universe to date. And since I love it so much, I want to play in it and create stories that highlights the joys, wonders and strengths of this amazing era of television super heroics.
Change List:
To tell the basics of Sara Lance's origin story. The focus in this version is on her history with the League of Assassins. All references to Sara's time on the Amazo and the Island with Oliver have been downplayed or cut. I am not saying it did not happen (as I have left plenty of wiggle room for it), just for streamlining and simplicity's sake, it is not directly referenced in this specific story.
Cuts and Additions:
--Cut all Island Flashbacks
--Cut Slade plotline
--Cut Brother Blood plotline
--Reduced Moira's subplot
--Reduced The Mayor plotline
--Roy and Sin are completely gone
--Cut Sara leaving Starling, story now takes place over a few weeks rather than several months
Additional Notes:
